What better way to extend the life of an album than to release a remix album (or, in this instance, an EP). Come on, everyone's doing it (Bloc Party, Architecture in Helsinki, Of Montreal and so on). Editors, on the heels of the U.S. release of The Back Room earlier this year, join the fray with an EP of four mixes, including a Munich remix by Ghislain Poirier (he of the excellent Dirt Off Your Shoulders remix ). It's available at the iTunes music store . [...]

Lady Sov 's Public Warning is due out on the 31st. It's taken it's fucken time too, and pretty much every track off it has been released now. So i'm not gonna post something new off it, cause it's leaked like an implant. Anyway yall prolly know i'm in lov wif da sov, and i'm not gonna hold back my thoughts that the album abuses speakers cause this one's a banger. Has a couple of old tracks onit yeh, but she's releasing for the american audience now, so i can see why she'd re-relase hoodie and random n 9-5 etc. [...]

Ghislain Poirier So, I haven't been posting as much for the past week and a half or so. I'm sorry fellas. I've just been really busy with classes and all that other stuff. But, I'm back on track and man oh man (i mean, man!) do I have some good stuff for you. Don't forget to enter our Now It's Overhead giveaway before next Monday, and that should about do it. I've gotten quite a few emails about advertising on the blog, and if you're interested, please feel free [...]
Ghislain Poirier - Don't Smile, It's Post Modern (from Breakupdown )

There have been a couple features about Montreal DJ Ghislain Poirier (can a name get more French?) who is "obsessed with big dirty beats, which is why he creates ragga style riddims and deconstructed abstract hip-hop." The dude also knows how to make a great remix. Here are a couple samples of some old and new stuff from Mr. Poirier . Mp3: Jay-Z "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" ( Ghislain Poirier Remix) [...]

Sean and I played a song by Ghislain Poirier on our recent podcast, followed by some pretty crucial discussion on the proper pronunciation of his name. So...what are you waiting for? Go d/l it and love it already. Poirier's most recent album is entirely a remix album. He uses some incredibly popular songs (ie. Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes) along with some songs that used to be popular (ie. Vanilla Ice). But you really got to hand it to him for remixing "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" a song that probably has the sickest beat [...]

i'm not gonna write a long and extravagent post on Ghirslain , cause i'm writing another post atm, and i've got a big arse essay to complete that i'm failing at not distracting myself from... Anyway i'd need a much larger vocabulary to do him any justice. Basically he's from Montreal, where he runs the DJ night Bounce le Gros, he's worked with a whole lot of cool cats, and makes big dirty beats. He's now also started his own label Rebondir Records. Anyway he's quickly become one of my favorite producers, and his beats always bang in da [...]
